Choose account creation
Select the option to open or create a personal account.
Enter your mobile number

Verify the number
Enter the OTP or verification code only inside the YAP app. Never share it with another person.
Provide identity details

Follow the app's identity checks. Use clear, current documents and accurate information.

- Age 18 or above for a standard personal account.
- Valid CNIC or NICOP.
- An active registered mobile number.

Registration Safety
Do not allow another person to create the account on your behalf using their phone or credentials. Keep your OTP, PIN, password and identity information private. If any step looks different from this guide, follow the current YAP app and official support instructions.
